Multiple Google Webmaster Tools Configurations

[Carla_Dawson]

Hello everyone,

I just inherited a website and 2 different users created GWT accounts on the same site and have configured different settings. Do you know how Google behaves when this happens?

Thanks

Hi Carla,

The Google Webmaster Tools property should remain the same for both users. If any of the user have made changes, it should reflect in other user's account as well. Its just that you have 2 owners of the GWT, not two different GWT for the website.

I hope this helps.

Hi FRL (sorry your name is not in your profile),

Unfortunately, I do not think that I have 2 owners since when I enter  both GWT accounts I see different configurations for the same exact website. This is what I am worried about. I do know how to delegate access to other users as mentioned in the link you provided.

Let me know what you think.

Hi Carla,

My name is Rattan and I work at FIRST NZ.

That's strange, never came across such incident. Are the URLs same in both accounts (http:// and https://, www and non-www versions)?

If you have access to both the accounts, you can remove one of the account and keep the preferable setting account active? To grant access to multiple users, add them as users.

Regards
